It costs me about $240 a month to run the big tank between salt, electricity and water. That can pay off bills much quicker and I can still run a 40 gallon tank to get my SPS fix

I'm not sure, Chris PM'd me some snail options also, besides the YT. I'm leaving Sunday for 2 weeks and I'm sure I'll have a good idea whether the rocks need cooking or not when I get back. But everytime I do a water change I get a ton of HA out and then by the next week, it's worse than it was

I have been begging for my move for the past 3 years
(only been in the house for 5)

and when I sold my big tank, I suddenly had about $200 extra per month

not that I was smart and saved it all

I am spending probably about $100 a month between all my tanks in power,... though I don't often buy things for them,.. and I bet I pay about $20 a month in salt. But! Soon I'm going to start selling frags and I can definitally make up for the cost that way,.. and then some.

OK, that was bad. I have a few more minutes before I have to pick up the hooligans and run to the Dr. office. Yippie
